This book sounds interesting. I couldn’t get into it to go too far today. The review makes it worth a try but not high on my priority list. With the less than convincing evidence, I’ll take the information as simple entertainment.

Too pity the pictures are unconvincing, but the book still seems to be worth reading :) I love such mysteries stories since my very childhood, so I would give this one a try. Thank you for a great review!

As someone who is a little skeptical about alien observesion and UFO's, i would say this book is not for me. The only person that cause me to doubt myself was Erich von Däniken (Chariots of The Gods), and it was only because his hypothesis were purely out of increasing the scientific researchs for those area and based on past instead of today. Therefore i am totally agree with Taverner's opinion about them being hallucinating. However, depending on your review, i can say they write with enthusiasm and ialways love books written with love and care. I wish Taverner release a book on their "Naruto Run to Area 51" so that i can read one of their book (because i personally don't think i will read that).

What an interesting story about a wholehearted desire for extraterrestrial beings to be real. This seems like a wonderful tale of discovery and pursuit of your passions.

Latest Review: Man Mission by Eytan Uliel

Post by Han26+ »

I started off thinking this was going to be a sort of alien guidebook aimed at children, similar to the books that Templar Publishing did about dragons, ancient Egypt, etc. The fact that it claims to be a true story is confusing considering the cartoony cover, and the less than convincing photographs. I would be more interested in a book of this type if there were observational drawings and stuff to keep it varied, not just blurry images.

Based on the review, I think the book is an enjoyable read BUT it sounds like the aliens are not really a real thing. It seems like the book is full of entertainment, but not real information. I might pass.

This book belongs to the science-fiction category. It deals with the idea of extraterrestrial beings. Seems interesting but not for now. Thanks for the review!

This certainly sounds like an interesting and entertaining book. First glance at the cover lead me to believe it was a children's book. I have just never been interested in reading anything about aliens or other worlds, etc. so I will be passing on this one! Your review was great!

I enjoyed this well-written review and I tend to share the same sentiments. There are an awful lot of people watching the sky, so I can't believe that the author was the only person to see these spaceships. Science is actively looking for evidence of extraterrestrials and has not found anything yet. A great review but I think the book and the pictures are merely imagination.

I can't say much about ETs. However, I believe we're not alone. This book may not be the best proof but it' ll be there. Nice review though.

This is a fun way to explore an elusive topic like extraterrestrials. Though it has a few foibles, it sounds like an amusing book. Thanks for the great review.

Though the Barmuda Triangle has always been fascinating to me since childhood, I've never allowed myself to indulge in the topic in question at all. Since I got a chance to read someone else work on E.T., why not try it. Thanks for review cuz you're very right for not totally believing the Photographs provided by the author.
A wonderful book and a cup of black tea in my hands make my day joyful! :tiphat:

An experience with alien from a new world sounds awesome to read about. Although the image resolutions might be a little challenge, but the thought of having a broader knowledge about my environment will aid imaginative consciousness. Great review!

This book presents that very rare case when I am sure this is totally not my type of thing, because I have zero interest in subject, but since it was given for free I know I wil have to at least look though it. It's respect thing - you're not allowed to dismiss gifts without thought.

Dino's World by Shawn Taverner as read by MsTri sounds like a treat. I agree with most of what she said, except with the effort she took to demonstrate that what the author presented as reality is, in fact, foggy and not clear at all.
It does not matter if the facts described are real or not for someone to enjoy a 'different' view of reality. And the reviewer admits it herself.
I for one was totally hooked when I saw that the author was Nicholas Tesla's fan.
I appreciate the honesty and fairness of the review as well as the fact that the intended readership was well identified.
Thank you, MsTriQ!
